Hollywood is not known as a culture of grace. Dog-eat-dog is more like it. People love you one day and hate you the next. Personal value is very much attached to box office revenues and the unpredictable and often cruel winds of fashion.

The gospel is not about a lifestyle that we live, it's about the law-fulfilling life that Christ lived.

Before we can even begin to grapple with the frustrations and tragedies of life in this world, we must do away with our faithless morality of payback and reward.

The deepest cry of the human heart is to be loved without condition, no matter what. The gospel of grace announces that you are.
